Now we hear that Shraddha Kapoor has been roped in to star alongside Rajkummar in the film. According to a report in Mumbai Mirror, Shraddha will play the female lead in the upcoming ‘yet to be titled’ film.

A spokesperson from Vijan’s production house has confirmed the news. Mumbai Mirror quoted a source as saying, “Shraddha will play a small town girl with a mystery surrounding her character. It’s a unique role and in a zone that the actress has not attempted before. She has really liked the script and gave her approval last week.” The film, that is touted to be horror comedy, will be written by Raj Nidimoru and Krishna DK. The two are reuniting with director Vijan after the 2013 zombie comedy, Saif Ali Khan starrer Go Goa Gone. Also, Vijan’s upcoming project is currently in the pre-production stage. The makers are scouting for locations and they will zero in on a director soon. ALSO READ: (Bigg Boss 11: Arshi Khan Becomes The New Captain Of The House?)
